"Heckling Hare" and Avery's termination at WB: I've seen unsourced references, in other material, to Leon Schleisinger's objection to the end of "Heckling" to arise not simply from the repeat of the falling sequence, but also from the closing "gag line": "Hold onto your hats, folks, here we go again!" and the possible risque significance of this line. I cannot find any explanation of why this line would be deemed risque, even to a known stick-in-the-mud like Scheisinger.
Anyone got some info.?
[edit] Tex Avery Cartoon
I remember in the 90's there was a cartoon bearing Tex Avery's name in the title. Does anyone know this cartoon and it's relation too Tex Avery?
- The cartoon of Tex Avery can be found in google videos by searching for tex avery, it exists, needs more detailed information tho. yet another Matt 20:18, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

- The Wacky World of Tex Avery had absolutely nothing to do with "our" Tex Avery, other than the publicity material which declared the show an "homage" to his style (highly debatable, but I'm just working from memory). The only reason it bore his name is that the creators named a cowboy character after him. By putting the man's name on a show that bears absolutely none of his material, it makes it the biggest ripoff in the DIC syndication catalog by default. --Enwilson 23:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Wolf
I just reverted an edit which falsely put The Wolf in the Warner cartoons when he was used only in the MGM cartoons. Steelbeard1 17:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- There was an Avery-style wolf in one of the Friz Freleng movie theater cartoons (I think it was "Bacall To Arms"), so maybe they got the two confused. --Enwilson 01:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
"Bacall To Arms" was a Bob Clampett cartoon, released after he left Warner so he is not in the credits. Steelbeard1 01:48, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
